These possibilities can best be made realities through the concerted efforts of the entire statistics community, especially the academic community, in curriculum development and teacher education. Such realities, in turn, can serve as prologue to an ever more widening future for statistics that must embrace expanded curricular content and substantive research on educational practices.
